I am curious to know what image analysis packages other workers use in conjunction with Macintosh
computers.
My students and I regularly require the dimensions of cells and tissues from sections of fruit and leaves.
We also study leaf shape, asking such questions as "what proportion of a leaf area is variegated". The
package we have been using is the public domain freeware 'Image 1.57'. This works, but for our
purposes it is often clumsy; images requre considerable editing, for example, before the package can
identify discrete cells to tell us their cross sectional area.
